Disgraced former NYPD cop Justin Volpe, jailed in the brutal 1997 stationhouse broomstick assault on Haitian immigrant Abner Louima, was denied a plea for compassionate release from prison Monday.<\/p>\n

Volpe, 48, was sentenced to more than 21 years in prison in 1999 for the shocking attack inside the 70th Precinct stationhouse in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Volpe was convicted of using a broomstick to sodomize Louima, perforating his rectum and bladder, following Louima\u2019s arrest when cops broke up a rowdy party on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn on Aug. 9, 1997. <\/p>\n

In a hand-written plea for release, Volpe in December said he had tested positive for COVID-19 while behind bars, and he wanted to be with his ailing mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not seek to evade just punishment for my crime,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI have served the overwhelming majority of my sentence. After 21 plus years in prison, it is my family who is being punsihed more.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI respectfully ask for your consideration to have the ability to help my dear 76-year-old mother (Grace) who is a widow and needs physical and emotional help, as well as my loyal wife (Caroline) who meets all the demands of a household all on her own during these trying and uncertain times,\u201d Volpe wrote.<\/p>\n

But federal prosecutors responded in a Feb. 1 reply that Volpe should stay behind bars, calling his actions \u201cone of the most heinous crimes in New York City\u2019s history.\u201d <\/p>\n

On Monday, Judge Frederic Block agreed.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefendant Justin Volpe\u2019s motion for compassionate release is denied,\u201d the said in a ruling online. \u201cHe does not present any extraordinary and compelling reasons\u2026 based on the possibility of contracting COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn any event, reconsideration of the factors does not warrant a reduction of his sentence given the gave nature and circumstances of his crime,\u201d the judge wrote.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
